in which Buffy Meets Edward Cullen

Most of you will probably have seen this clip already, but if not, you really are in for a treat - so I'm putting it here on general principles.

Enjoy!

Buffy/Twilight crossover vid this way...

Oh, that's brilliant. I hadn't seen it, so thank you! (And it also reminds me of why I loved Buffy - I want to go and watch S1 again...)

[dolorous_ett]

Isn't it brilliant? And how's Dominic the Vampire Killer these days, by the way?

[tree_and_leaf]

Dominic has not been up to much, though I have been brooding on the matter of the St Stephen's House theological college Rover Scout Unit....

He doesn't approve of Edward, though.

[dolorous_ett]

He's quite right. Edward is his natural prey, as well as being a creepy stalker...

I had seen it, but I have just watched it again. It's brilliant.

I can't get enough of the moment when she responds to how he likes watching her sleeping with a threat to throw him headfirst out of the window - and then follows through with it! A truly cheering moment.

[tree_and_leaf]

Yes! That's the Buffy we know and love!

That was a think of genius. If possible it has made me want to see Twilight even less than I did already...

[dolorous_ett]

Surprisingly, the Twilight film is really rather sweet - and done with a nice dollop of irony, and lashings of gorgeous scenery. The book and underlying concept, however...

I'm new to Twilight but a work colleague has just lent me the first two books. Have I got a treat in store for me?

[dolorous_ett]

I don't know - I think a lot depends on how you define the word "treat"!

The first book is strangely gripping, though not particularly well-written, and the author and the concept of pacing are complete strangers to each other. That said, it's a very readable book, and I liked it a lot more than I thought I was going to.

If you want to read something very funny (and spoiler-ridden), cleolinda has done some very disrespectful, very funny summaries of all four books.

Let me know what you make of it all!

[ms_wanderlust]

I will see how I find the first book. I wasn't expecting great literature, for sure, but like a vampire tale as much as the next goth :) Am currently reading "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".

[dolorous_ett]

That's a fine book! I'm amazed at how long the joke stays funny for - and particularly like the way they talk about "dreadfuls" and "unmentionables"!

One of my friends posted it on FB. I was speechless at how seamless it was.

[dolorous_ett]

It's really very skilfully done indeed. Someone's got talent!
